About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Hell Gate, Wards Island from the NEW YORK (The Battery) station: high tides about 1.33× the height, 178 min later; low tides about 1.59× the height, 225 min later.
Barrier islands, big bays, and river tides: Chesapeake and Delaware bays carry the tide deep inland, and a nor'easter can hold water in, or blow it out, for days at a time.
